Overview

Spoken grammar is often neglected in the classroom. Much of the grammar covered in published ELT materials and taught globally perpetuates the standard ELT syllabus, which is largely based on 'tidy' and very often more written-like grammar. In Spoken Grammar, Jon Hird explores how teachers can supplement or modify the more traditional ELT approaches by adding elements of spoken grammar to their teaching. 'Spoken grammar' refers to features that commonly occur in more conversational speaking as well as in informal spoken-like contexts, such as social media. The aspects of spoken grammar featured in this book are clearly identifiable, straightforward and teachable. They are features that can be easily explained and practised. The book begins by exploring the nature of written versus spoken English. It then moves on to look at why and how to introduce and practise spoken grammar in the classroom. Alongside clear and practical explanations, it provides authentic examples of each point to help provide context. It also provides plenty of examples of exercises that can practice the language.
